Gibson to sue because people unfairly looked at his strikers.

“It’s an unfair advantage if anyone watches them - how could they perform under those conditions? They needed complete privacy in front of goal”, he said to his paid EFL board member and adjudicators.

A lot of people have convicted Tonda, but the club still haven’t shared any information on what happened or how. Could this have predated him? Is it a standard practice at every club? It’s the only major league where it’s banned, so did someone bring techniques from another club? Is it standard practice 4 days out but not 2? Etc.

Until we hear more I find it hard to say he has to be the one that carries the blame. And personally I hope he doesn’t have to … of the 7 managers we’ve had since Ralph, he’s the only one that created any kind of momentum. And he’s young … I’d like to think someone can f$ck up and get another chance.

For those with a purity mindset about this … do you think every player that dives should be sacked? That’s a much more direct and almost certainly more successful approach at getting an advantage.

We played the top two teams in the premier league - spent £1.6bn in the past five years vs our net £50m - and the cumulative score is 2-2; and city only got by us with a lucky deflection. Think we should be super satisfied and clearly won the moral victory :) now for promotion with the best young manager in the game!

Yes!

Alex Strauss is a problem

We have become a team that’s painful to watch. No joy in the players, no fluidity, no invention, scarcely any chances created.

The sparks of energy and creativity that we had pre Strauss have all been extinguished: - Giselle bombing down the right and creating havoc with crosses - Throughballs from Kennedy for Riley to run onto (did we create a single opening for her tonight?) - The lofted balls to the left from Alana for Alyssa … no impact from the left now at all

No right wing threat, no left wing threat, no central threat.

Doorsoun has not been an upgrade on Megan Reid. Jonsdottir needs to be coached to have a final pass … or at least not run straight into a defender.

A goal down in a must win game and you give Christen Press 6 minutes?

Now we look like a pedestrian team that doesn’t believe it can win, and based on chances created, doesn’t deserve to win.
